About me
I work as a freelance stage and production manager, currently with shows in London, and regional tours across the UK and abroad.In the last year I have worked as production manager for site-specific exhibitions, immersive virtual reality productions, UK tours of comedy musicals, and app-based theatre pieces. This has given me a very broad experience in a number of exciting genres and fields, and the specificity of each job has made me able to adapt very quickly to any new job or environment of work.
Currently I am working on the concert tour of musical 'The Good Enough Mums' Club', with only 2-3 performances every month, always in a new city. The detail required in planning the transport, storage and accommodation for this project is very particular - especially with a cast where the majority of team tour with their young children - and has truly exercised my skills at working to very long and very short deadlines.
As a freelancer, I have always juggled several jobs often at the same time - currently, while I tour with 'The Good Enough Mums' Club' I am also working on the development for a new app-based theatre piece, and a play 'Tapestry' for the Milton Keynes Gallery Festival.
Working on several jobs at the same time is the ultimate test of organisation, and one that I relish, however, I also love the opportunity to develop longer relationships with a company, and have worked part-time as a Front of House Supervisor at the Royal Albert Hall since 2017, loving the range and scale of productions that we deliver there.
